  1. The reason they can't take heat pumps is 2 fold there not insulated to any standard at all and they don't have the electrical capacity if your heating a leaky building you need 3 phase Aside from that he's 4 years out of date fracking isn't economically viable and renewables achieved parity with gas back in 2019 + EV's reached parity with ICE this year and that's before economies of scale kick in. Our housing stock is the worst insulated in Europe and he's not even offering A+ insulation standards fkin joke of a party like the Tories

  2. if you kept up with the tech renewables reached parity with gas on energy costs back in 2019 and EV's achieved cost parity with ICE this year and that's before economies of scale kick in. We have the worst insulated housing stock in Europe and the offer is what exactly get everyone up to A+ standards and save consumers 100's of billions? No way Tice's attitude is working people can fk off and keep paying outrageous amounts to the energy companies cos we don't care were not going to regulate to improve your life and wellbeing

  3. Insulating homes to A+ standard reduces your energy bills and is extremely cost effective lowering standards for landlords increases the burden on tenants who are getting scalped as it is EV's reached cost parity with ICE this year without subsidies and they have yet to touch the economies of scale that further investment and production will bring so by not investing in Infrastructure your increasing costs for the public and lowering the UK's productivity. Renewables reached cost parity with gas back in 2019 so Tice is 4 years out of date (No Surprise there then)

  4. just installed underfloor in my house it was built in 1935 albeit as part of a major refurb and extension. the overriding benefit is from double insulating walls and floors and fitting A+ windows. Didn't bother with a heat pump but did instal thermal solar, heating has been off since around April and hot water has been free most of that period  @keithhissey5173

  7. Its the final nail in their coffin if you kept up with the tech renewables reached parity with gas on energy costs back in 2019 and EV's achieved cost parity with ICE this year and that's before economies of scale kick in.

  8.  @juliamacdonald294  you do know that capital expenditure on net zero will reduce your energy bills and even your taxes? Ex if a government building refurbishment spent +10% on uprating insulation to A+ standard the savings in energy costs would cover capital outlay in a couple of years reducing energy consumption permanently for the life of the building.

  10. net zero will save money the longer you delay the more it will cost Quote The OBR concludes: the debt impact of future volatility in gas prices is at 13% of the UK gross domestic product (GDP) to 2050. This dwarfs the debt impact of 6% of GDP for investing in net zero. Second, it investigates the potential of new, growing energy solutions to cushion price volatility. Quote With the energy price cap below £1,300 throughout 2021, UK households spent around £30 billion on energy during the year. In 2023 the projected spend is around £170 billion. This is equivalent to more than doubling the basic rate of income tax from 20% to 45% or almost doubling VAT from 20% to 38%. Just over 6% of GDP. read OBR report at gov website Fiscal risks and sustainability – July 2023 @Christophers-Assorted-Stuff
